What Reviews Say

233 reviews analyzed

D and J's Pet Lodge is highly regarded for its 'spa-like' cleanliness and modern, state-of-the-art facility that includes private suites with TVs. Customers frequently praise the staff's genuine affection for animals and the high quality of grooming services. While the vast majority of experiences are glowing, there are isolated but serious reports regarding a lost puppy and a dispute over medical care/injuries, which the owners defend with detailed policy explanations.

Worth noting

Lost dog incident

This place lost our dog within 24 hours of being in their care... a 19 week old 3.4 pound Chihuaha mix puppy who apparently squeezed through a 2 ½ inch gap.

Physical injuries/Medical neglect allegations

Only to find sores all around his mouth like he got injured and also a badly chipped front tooth... they refused any accommodation for his anxiety including the provided and prescribed medication.

Lack of detailed report cards/updates(3 mentions)

They provided NO report back about how his visit was other than 'no news is good news'.

Strict cancellation/billing policies(2 mentions)

First they refused to only let us pay for the days he was there, charged us for the extra day.
